What is HACCP?
HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points. It is an EU-wide food safety system used by businesses involved in the production, storage, handling, and transport of food. The goal is to identify risks and put controls in place to minimize the chance of contamination.
In professional kitchens and throughout the food industry, HACCP practices are commonly applied—often using color-coded tools and equipment to help prevent cross-contamination and maintain hygienic working standards.
The origin of HACCP color coding
The first HACCP plans were developed in the 1960s for NASA to ensure safe, long-life food for astronauts. In 1993, the World Health Organization (WHO) helped introduce the Codex Alimentarius, a set of international food standards that supported the broader adoption of HACCP principles. Color coding became a practical method within these systems to reduce the risk of cross-contamination in food-handling environments.
HACCP in the food industry
HACCP is widely used across the food chain to support quality assurance and protect both staff and consumers. Many organizations apply HACCP procedures through internal checklists, hygiene codes, and staff training.
